<p>Greeneville Detective Capt. Tim Davis said all three were responsive and answering questions, reported the <a href="http://www.greenevillesun.com/news/local_news/updated-girls-fell---feet-detective-says-all-rides/article_c4887e8c-5db7-11e6-a93c-a7c9cf69aa1e.html#sthash.kl0XsrFC.dpuf" target="_blank">Greenville Sun</a>.</p>

<p>Eyewitness Gregory Lynthacum said the car the girls were riding in appeared to &quot;get caught&quot; as the wheel around and started bringing them up.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&quot;It was like watching water pouring from a glass,&quot; Lynthacum told&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 20.8px;">WJHL-TV</span>. &quot;They bounced off the metal bridging of the ride and eventually hit the ground.&quot; Operators finally stopped the ride after people on the ground screamed at them, Lynthacum added.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The accident follows the <a href="https://www.yourdaysout.com/news/politicians-son-10-dies-on-worlds-biggest-waterslide-1576">death of a 10-year-old boy</a> on a water slide at Schlitterbahn Water Park in Kansas on Sunday.</p>
